After breakfast, Jake hugged Janie and gave Hope a kiss on her forehead. He left the house and smiled at Maxim and Milena who were standing by the hummer. He was going to the Demon Headquarters to talk with Zane about the mating removal. He knew Zane would be happy about it. Getting in the hummer Maxim drove and Milena sat in the passenger seat. “Jake are you sure you want this? “ Milena asked and looked back at Jake.* I am. It needs to be done so that I can heal and try and move on. It’s what he wants and since I didn’t listen to him before I will listen to him now. Even if I do move on he will always be in my heart. Milena nodded and turned back in her seat. Jake pulled out his cigarettes and took one out lighting it. Maxim growled and Jake looked at him. Don’t start Maxim. “Those are bad for you.” It won’t kill me. Right now I need them. They keep me calm and not all bat shit crazy. Milena chuckled and Maxim gave them both a look. I will quit in time but now it’s better than drinking right? Maxim opened his mouth but shut it. Thought so. Jake smiled and took a drag rolling the window down. About ten minutes later they pulled into the parking lot and parked. Jake took a deep breath and got out. The guard that locked him up and got smart with him opened the door for him and grinned. Jake just gave him a look but both Maxim and Milena growled at him. Heading to Zane’s office his secretary told him to go on in that he was expecting him. Opening the door, Zane smiled. “Hey, Jake.” Hey, Zane. “Please have a seat.” Jake sat and his guards stood in the back of the office. Zane nodded to them both. “Jake, I know why you are here. Are you sure you want to do this?” Jake gave him a questioning look. Are you actually asking me? I’m a little shocked that you asked me that. Zane chuckled. “To be honest I am happy that you want it done but you are hurting and for that yes I am asking.” Jake nodded. Yes, yes I am sure. Can you call the queen and ask her for the removal, please. If she asks yes she can take my blood, cause I have heard stories about her and poking people. Zane laughed, his guards chuckled and even Jake laughed a little. I will call her and see about the mating removal. How soon do you want it?” Yesterday? * Zane Kyllwood rose a brow at him.* I just want it done fast, please.

  1. I looked at Jake Craven*​*​. He sure changed his mind fast. Too fast. And I didn't like it. Sure I never liked Matre Blogis*​*​ but something felt off with Jake and I was going to find out what it was. Getting up from my chair I walked around my desk and stood in front of my cousin. Okay, Jake I'll talk to the queen as soon as I can. Jake nodded then stood. "Thank you Zane. I really appreciate you helping me out like this." That's what family is for. Now get on out of here and let me get back to work. Plus I need to make some calls. I looked over at Maxim and reached into his mind. ~Keep a close eye on Jake. Something's not right with him changing his mind so quickly. I want to know what's going on.~ Maxim gave me a small nod then took the lead out of my office with Jake and Milena following close behind. When they were home I picked up the phone and made a few calls trying to figure out who had broken into Jake's place.

  2. Jake knew that Zane gave Maxim another order in his head for him to nod at him. Not saying anything they all walked out the office and a few minutes later out the building. Heading to the hummer, Jake stopped and looked at his guards. So you think the queen will take long to get the removal to Zane once he asks her? Maxim grabbed Jake's arm and moved in front of him. "Look... I know I pushed you but you never gave in till now. Tell me why?" I told you. It's what he wants. "Don't lie to me, Jake." Jake pushed him I told you why! "You never listened to him before. You even said that. Why now?" Jake broke down. I have to. I need this to let go. I need to forget. Maxim and Milena looked at Jake. Milena took Jake and lead him to the side of the hummer helping him in. "Let's go get you some food and to relax. You spoke to Zane he will call the queen and it will be over soon." Jake nodded and laid down on the back seats. Milena got in and looked at Maxim. He nodded and then drove to Jake's favorite place for dinner.

* Once +Loretta Blackstone told me what she needed I got up and left. Julian handed me his car keys and +Takahiro Yanahi DPI followed me out of the conference room. I was on the verge of losing it, my baby sister was missing. Taken by a witch and I had no idea why they would even want her. The thought's going through my mind of what might be happening to her were dark. I feared for her. I hurried down the hall and burst through the front door of the police station. I needed fresh air and solitude, I knew I couldn't hold myself together much longer. * "Kimiko, yamero." {Kimiko, stop.} * I stopped, but refused to turn around, tears slid down my face and I was ashamed that I was so weak at this moment. Taka turned me gently and pulled me against his chest, slipping the car keys from my hand. Wrapping his arms around me, he let me cry. * "Watashitachiha kaiyo o mitsukerudeshou, watashi wa yakusoku shimasu." {We'll find Kaiyo, I promise."} * I wrapped my arms around his waist. His gentle voice, embrace and his scent helped to calm me. I looked into my mate's eyes. * Why would they want her, Taka? Do you think that Senichi could be behind this? * My mate seemed to think for a minute. * "You and I know Senichi best. We could guess his next move in any situation and act on it before he even had to say anything. He knows he's gonna have to do something that we would never consider. I'm not saying he is behind this, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is." * I nodded, I knew he was right. Taka kissed me. * "Let's get to the house and get what Miss Blackstone needs." * I slipped into the passenger side of Julian's car and tried to pull myself together as Taka drove us to the house. *

* Raechel Hadrian​​ was finally sleeping as I quietly dressed and left the house. I had to deal with Mia before I dealt with the females of the pack. I was still furious, but everything with Jordan McCormick​​ overshadowed it. I still needed to tell Mikaela Kieschnick​​. Maybe I'd call Damon Kieschnick​​ first. Let him decide the best way to tell her. She'd taken to Jordan right off the bat and I think Jordan had loved Mik too. I kicked the truck engine over and rubbed my hands together. It was cold and the sky was just turning a bright orange in the eastern sky. I didn't relish the tasks ahead. I put the truck in gear and headed into town. We didn't have a large police department. It was a few offices for Slade Michaels and Cole Ross, the other enforcers were directed by them. Slade and I had talked about bringing Vincent Gaines on, but it hadn't gotten any further when we were called to help Bianca. Now that the females had pulled the stunt they did, he may not stick around long enough for me to offer him the position. We had eight holding cells, each one made with reinforced silver. They stayed empty most of the time with the exception of a drunk or two needing to sleep off their drink. I parked in the space designated for me and made my way inside. * Alpha. * Bernice ran the front desk and she greeted me with a smile. * Good morning, Bernice. * She stood up. * You look tired, sir. * She handed me the file on Mia. This was a small town, she knew why I was here. I flipped through the contents. * Its been a long two weeks. * I told her as I made sure everything was in order. * Who's running the morning shift? * I asked, closing the file. * Stretch and Monty. * They were relatively new trainees, but Slade and Cole had trained them well. * Thank you. * I nodded as I slipped past her. Stretch was working the radio system we had in place and I nodded to him as I made my way towards the basement and the holding cells. Monty guarded the door leading down. * Good morning, Alpha. * He opened the door for me. * Thank you, Monty. * He nodded in return. * Good luck with that one, Sir. * I headed down the stairs, the air growing colder. I stepped down the corridor and she was in the first cell to the left. I typed in the code and a small section of the silver bars opened, allowing me to step inside her cell. She sat up when they slammed closed. She smelled like day old booze and her make up was smeared. She stood up and made her way over to me. * Alpha Beck. * Her voice was anything but respectful. * I'd hoped you would come and see me so we could sort this misunderstanding out. * She stepped close enough to run her fingers up the arms of my jacket. She shivered. * Such big muscles. * Her eyes met mine. * Maybe we can work out a deal, hm? * Her fingertips grazed my neck and jaw and for the first time in my life, I wanted to throttle a female. I shoved the file folder between us. * For starters, seducing me will do nothing but get you killed. My mate would have your head. Secondly, we'd both suffer the mating rash. And last, I would rather be dragged behind a truck, over broken glass then continue to be this close to you. * Rage darkened her eyes. * You're a son of a bitch! * Her hand flew up to slap me and I caught her wrist. * I can be. Why don't we find out just how big of a one? * She jerked away from me. * I don't understand why you're so mad at me. Why I'm to blame. I didn't do anything wrong! * She sat on the bed in a huff. * So, you didn't steal drugs from Dr. Tukami? * She was silent. * And you didn't meet Jules and my mate to give them the drugs you didn't steal? * Her eyes snapped fire as they met mine. * Or, you did do all those things, but dont want to admit it. I find it difficult to believe that you did this for the females out of the kindness of your own heart. * I opened the file that I had. * You attempted to seduce the doctor, your boss and was fired for it. I see you lived here during O'Donnells reign of terror. Your mother left with some rogue shifter. You stayed behind with your father. * She moved from the bed. * I know my life's story. I dont need you narrating it. * She tried to snatch the folder from me. I didn't allow it. * And I dont need someone of your calibre in my pack. * That got her attention. * What do you mean? * I shrugged. * Exactly what I just said. I'm banishing you, Mia. * Tears filled her eyes. * Beck...I mean, Alpha, sir....please. * I steeled myself against her pleas. * I don't trust you. In fact, you attempted to seduce me, which means you will stop at nothing to get what you want. I have yet to determine what exactly that is. But its detrimental to my pack. And I will not allow it. * She was sobbing now. * I just wanted Julian. I just wanted him to love me! * I shook my head. * He doesn't feel the same, Mia. The last female like you caused a lot of hurt as well and she almost killed members of my pack. I cannot stand by and let this happen. I will not. You broke trust. And you crossed the line thinking you could seduce me. * She hit her knees. * Alpha, please! Give me another chance! I will stay away from Julian! I'll do anything, ANYTHING to make this right. Just please, don't banish me!! * I shook my head as I gave the signal to be let out. * You'll be escorted out tomorrow morning. You will have exactly two hours to pack and clear out your things. * She was still sobbing. * Where will I go? * I stepped out of the cell. * I don't know, Mia, nor do I care. But you won't be here. And I shouldn't have to tell you that if you attempt to come back to McGregor land, you'll be killed on the spot. * I slammed the bars closed. * I hope that you take this chance and become a better person. Perhaps find a pack that will accept you. * She hit the bars, screaming. * I don't need you or your fucking pack! I didn't act alone! And everyone knows that the only reason you won't banish the others is because of who they mated and your mate is one! * I growled. * You know nothing of what I will do. Don't push me, Mia. It's too easy for me to have you executed. And it'd be supported. * I left her screaming behind me as I made my way back upstairs. I was due to meet with Jules, Meghan and Chloe in an hour. I wanted to be done with this whole thing so I could move on. I had bigger issues to deal with and this was just pissing me off. I left Mias file for Cole to finish up and then headed to my office for round two. *

* I finished checking in at the front desk then sat down next to Caiden Bauer​. I was nervous. I worried about what they would find today. I worried that Gabriel Jericho​ was going after Quinn Cooper​. I just wanted to be tucked inside of Ama Maes bed and breakfast with Caiden. My leg bounced as anxiety pumped through my veins.
